Important note

Make sure your ABN details and business location are correct on the Australian Business Register (ABR). This information is used by emergency services and government agencies to identify businesses who might need help or support during and after a disaster. If your ABN details are out of date, your business is at risk of missing out on important information, support or financial assistance such as government grants.

It is important emergency services know where your business is located. Your main business address on the ABR should be the physical street address of your business or organisation, not a post office box or tax or BAS agent address (unless you are a tax or BAS agent business). This is not publicly available.

Your ABN details must be updated on the ABR within 28 days of becoming aware of changes. If you haven’t updated your ABN details for some time, check and update your ABN details today.
